Hi.<br />
Can I use Pellet horse manure in my worm bin? I know that worms like manure but l'm not sure that dried is also so good like fresh?<br />
<br />
Thanks for any advice.

<p>I have 3 Worm Inns I want to sell, but I don't want to have to ship them anywhere. I'm in Des Moines, Iowa. Is this a good place to do that, or would you recommend another site?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Hello there,</p>
<p>I am always asking for info on this forum - but I thought I would add some this time. I did a market analysis on worm farms in India and South Africa - basically looking at if worm supply was limiting the uptake of worm based technologies. Here is the write of of this work - it may be of use if you are looknig for suppliers or thinking of starting a business.…</p>

<p>Is there anyone using mostly cardboard as a food and bedding? How is it working. I've been vermicomposting for over a decade and just started using black soldier fly larvae now that I'm living on a farm with chickens to feed them to. I heard a BSFL guy say that you should give all of the food to the BSFL and feed cardboard to the worms. I'd love any advice you could give. I've been soaking the cardboard in a trash can for a few days until I get around to tearing it in to smaller pieces…</p>

<p>Hello again, I am trying to identify some worms I found close to Gamella in Ethiopia. It is a part of an ongoing project and I am trying to find native composting worms here:</p>
<p></p>
<p>Worm 1 was found about 1 cm below the surface in organic rich black soil, which was damp and had a cover of leaf litter. It is a brown worm with a purple to green iridescence on its top side. Its underneath lacks iridescence and is considerable lighter. It has a flat saddle, pointed front end and rounded back end. The length is about 15cm. I moves in a snake like manor and does not tie itself in knots - it is easy to handle.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Worm 2 was found at the side of a pond in clay like clumps of mud. It is red and had no iridescence. Again it has a pointed head and rounded back end. No saddles are present so these are possible juveniles. They freak out when handled and knot.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I will upload some photos when I get better band width as I am in Gambella at the moment. The big brown worm is quite a beauty!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Any help most appreciated!</p>
